An older article; it’s probably happening now.
Why the chicken crossed the ocean — twice:
A new government rule will soon allow American chicken meat to be exported to China to be processed, then shipped back.
The Department of Agriculture (in April, 2006) certified China as eligible to export processed chicken meat to the United States — but with one caveat. The chicken has to be American.
In other words, American chicken will travel across the ocean once and return cooked and canned - to be sent on its way to a supermarket shelf near you.

...but there are "Chicken Jerky" treats from China. My dog loves them, but I call them "bird flu" treats, since they were almost certainly birds culled to stop the bird flu.
